Scarborough: We Will Not Air Any Trump Victory Speech Tuesday Night
JonathanTurley.org ^ | 3 Nov 2020 | Jonathan Turley

There was an interesting moment on Monday as the hosts and guest on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” were discussing the coverage of the election. Willie Geist raised the possibility that President Trump could declare victory on election night before all the votes have been counted. Joe Scarborough responded that NBC would simply make a Twitter-like determination and not carry the speech. It would not be treated as obvious news but rather “disinformation” . . . regardless of what has transpired on election day.

What is ironic is the Geist had just slammed Trump for making plans to send in lawyers “no matter what happens.” Without missing a beat, Scarborough then announced that no matter what happens on the election (like a surprise victory), Trump’s speech would be blocked for NBC viewers.

“We’ll be doing coverage on Peacock and we can assure you if Trump declares victory we’ll say, don’t take the feed. It’s not going to happen. We won’t be part of any disinformation campaign, we’ll be doing election coverage until midnight or whenever is over.”

The point tracked a statement from Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon who declared that “[u]nder no scenario will Donald Trump be declared a victor on election night, and that’s fundamentally how we want to approach tomorrow.” I can understand the mathematical point but the Biden campaign does not make such decision. Moreover, this appears only a bar on a Trump victory speech. Some Democrats like James Carville are predicting that they will know by 10 pm. I would find it difficult to see a scenario where an election night victory could be declared but we do not know what will occur today in terms of any surges or landslide. More importantly, the issue raised on Morning Joe goes to the coverage not the claims...

Their viewers will be watching reruns of Gilligan’s Island....

MeTV has actually been helping to keep me sane since sometime in April. No woke content whatsoever.

Lol, the Biden campaign manager is already saying Biden can win without PA or FL


They make an interesting comment. If they lose FL and PA, they probably aren’t winning MI or WI. Same for NC.

I love watching those channels on election night...although this year i won’t be watching them...
Still,i will enjoy watching many clips of the exact moment when they realize their guy has lost... that deflated expression on their faces when all their hopes and dream have been shattered. :)

People that want to hear it will be turned into a different network any way.

Trump wasn’t declared the victor until early Wednesday morning in 2016. So, they did the same back then.

12:01 a.m. is ok for me.

Trump will tweet that he won later tonight, and Twitter will remove the tweet and lock his account.

That's what I think will most likely happen.

Or, a number of people like Kayleigh and others will tweet out a Trump victory, and they'll get their accounts locked/suspended, and the tweets removed.

Personally, I find it hard to believe we will have an answer by 10 o’clock tonight. I don’t think it will be until midnight or possibly later similar to the last election.
